He actually preferred to take action himself, but he disdained An Xiaodie and An Xiaohu's "dirty" blood,
so, fearing that his own hands would get dirty, he ordered that old man to do it instead.
After his explanation, An Xiaomian finally understood how An Xiaodie got out of prison.
She was about to say something, but Shangguan Xiu cut her off by cupping her face with both hands, tilting his head down towards her, the distance between them shrunk so close, they could even breathe each other's breath.
His face stern, he told her in a grave voice, "An Xiaomian, let me make it clear to you, I would be extremely uneasy if I allowed you to stay alone at school. So from now on, I forbid you from going to school!"
"But I haven't finished my studies, Shangguan Xiu, you can't do this, I still need to go to school." Initially moved that he came to rescue her and did not lash out at her, An Xiaomian could not accept the sudden demand he was making.
